It has been a while since HP made a phone…they do make some pretty nice phones from my knowledge. For example, you might remember the HP ipaq 610C. A friend of my had that phone and for a moment there, I thought my next phone would be an Hp…but they stopped making phones for a while and everyone else just surpassed them. Above, you see the Hp iPaq Data Messenger which will be released under Vodafone, the guys that own about 45% of Verizon.
